This blog follows the progress of the LRO mission through Integration and Testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and launch site processing at KSC\Astrotech. Its purpose is to enable communication to the entire LRO Team about the status of ongoing activities.

LRO was launched June 18th, 2009 at 5:32pm EDT from KSC. This BLOG will follow the progress of the mission as LRO travels to the Moon and establishes orbit around it.

This BLOG will be periodically updated during LRO's early mission but as the nominal mission unfolds the official NASA LRO website and the LRO Science Instrument's own websites will evolve into a more interesting sources of LRO science results as postings appear there first and LRO engineering and operations (source of this site) will become increasingly routine.

TC-25: Payload Functional about half way through.

Payload integrated functional is proceeding well. We're about half way through now. We have already run the LROC collimator test (TC-26) prior to the functional. After the payload functional, we will run orbiter trending (TC-27) which takes a little over an hour. We will start transition to cold after trending. Once we get into configuration, we will run a 4 hr system stress test. After that we get ready for Mission Sim #18 (TC-32). Could be ready as early as 3am to run the sim.

Sim support personnel should be on console by 3am. - Sorry!
